High Speed 2U storage capacity and
additional OS kernal disk
RS720-E8-RS24-ECP is equipped with 24 SAS/SATA
2.5-inch drive bays. The hot-swappable design provides non-stop high
availability, making short work of maintenance. RS720-E8-RS24-ECP also
offers great freedom when it comes to the choice of operating system
drive type and placement, with M.2 slot and two rear hot-swappable
2.5-inch SSD bays available. And because 2.5-inch drive bays offer
faster transferring rate, RS720-E8-RS24-ECP is ideal for data analytics,
cloud computing, data management, and business-critical workloads.
5 Expansions
RS720-E8-RS24-ECP has high expandability
with five expansion slots meeting the demands of future expansion. There
are three PCI-E x16 slot (Gen3 x16 link), one PCI-E x8 slot (Gen3 x8
link), and one PCI-E x8 slot (Gen3 x4 link). This flexible expansion
offers diverse applications in storage and networking to meet the
demands of future expansion and high scalability in a 2U case. ASUS PIKE
II and ASUS 10G LAN card are also available for diverse applications.
ASUS PIKE II & 12G SAS Integration
ASUS PIKE II offers the latest 12Gb/s SAS
together with PCI-E 3.0 solution. While ASUS latest 12Gb/s SAS doubles
the data rate running at twice the speed of the previous generation,
PCI-E 3.0 offers high reliability and faster speed connection. ASUS PIKE
II meets user needs with support for 6Gb/s SATA and 12Gb/s SAS storage
and integrated RAID data protection. Just placing the PIKE II card can
immediately enlarge the capacity, improve the performance, and
strengthen the signaling, making it the great upgrade option.
Additionally, multiple HBAs allow multi-paths which improve over
performance.
Advanced cooling
There are two groups of fans and each
group has two fans. One group of fans is dedicatedly for CPUs and the
fans change the speed accordingly to meet different demands. The other
group is dedicatedly for the rest of serverboard. In this way,
RS720-E8-RS24-ECP offers excellent thermal solution, heat dissipation
and energy savings. It�s even possible to adjust the fan speed
manually, so you have flexible choice to meet different working
environment.
Premium components for premium
efficiency
RS720-E8-RS24-ECP benefits from premium
components hand-chosen and carefully arranged by ASUS engineers to
provide premium efficiency. With ASUS Beat Thermal Chokes, Dr. MOS and
1+1 Redundant 800W 80 PLUS CRPS Platinum power supplies, it delivers
great durability and up to 94% power efficiency. The 1+1 power supply
design allows the server to keep working even if one power supply
requires maintenance, enabling uninterrupted operation.
Complete Remote Server Management
With the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface (IPMI) 2.0-compliant ASMB8-iKVM module in RS720-E8-RS24-ECP,
